Don't know why I said way back in January what I meant was very early in Jan, sorry.

Edinburgh have gone quiet today after a number of busy days... unless anyone knows of any news that I've missed. Maybe they got a bit bored and had a day off.

Congratulations to your DS booface for the Edinburgh offer. Really hoping you hear soon movednorth.

We had exciting unexpected news this evening. DD got an offer from Bristol Grin! She was interviewed on 24th November, which seems so long ago, but weren't expecting to hear anything until all interviews were done.

specialted · 19/02/2018 19:42

adrinkofwater That's brilliant news! Huge congrats to DD! Is that her first choice?

movednorth · 19/02/2018 19:46

Fantastic news, adrinkofwater! What a lovely Monday evening surprise!

pixelchick10 · 19/02/2018 20:02

Lovely news re the latest offers - well done to everyone. Edinburgh is a fantastic place and this year it has been even more competitive than usual.

Congrats booface and adrink!

Thanks to adrinkofwater we also got good news from Bristol!!!!! I read the post and asked my DS if he had checked his emails (he hadn't!) - looked and there it was. So relieved and happy in this house 🎉

Adrinkofwater & movingmountains that is just fantastic news! Well done. Bristol is a fab city to be a student in. My DH went there & never left afterwards!

Mommymoomitzi · 19/02/2018 22:36

Adrinkofwater and movingmountains - so happy to hear your news!!! Well done to your DC 💐💐

Mommymoomitzi · 19/02/2018 22:37

Cardiff offers out tonight, nothing for my DD. She has one offer, but the pain is real for her ☹️

Abra1de · 19/02/2018 22:37

Moving!

muddlethro · 19/02/2018 22:41

Movingmountains, what a noisy house yours must be this evening....! I imagine you can’t stop smiling...😀 Huge congratulations to your DS.....🎉

biscuit2000 · 20/02/2018 07:07

Movingmountains Yay!!! 😁😁😁Adrinkofwater well done on another offer!
We had good news here last night too with first offer from Cardiff.
Mums still waiting - hope it's good news soon 🤞🤞🤞

specialted · 20/02/2018 07:35

Big well done to all those with offers! Lovely news! Commiserations to those who have not heard.
moving mountains, Bristol is such a fab city, DD was born there and we just loved it for the two years we were there.
Biscuit, well done for your DC too, so good to get that first offer.

swingofthings · 20/02/2018 07:58

Fantastic news adrinkofwater and movingmountains, oh and biscuit too. Yesterday was the day!

Mommy, have all the offers come out for Cardiff or just some and there is still a chance?

muddlethro · 20/02/2018 08:15

First offer biscuit2000....how relieved you must be feeling!! Such fantastic news, congratulations....🎉😀
Hoping for more offers this week for DC (& mums) still waiting...🙏🏼

2B1Gmum · 20/02/2018 08:27

Well done to all the recent offers, really good to read the news. It is good that our DCs get their confidence back when for some it had been a little lacking of late. The timing of the offers and how quickly or otherwise the Unis get back does impact, going to an interview with one offer already received helps with the nerves according to my DD and I am sure she is right. Next few weeks, even months, will see more offers.

Re. Bristol, DD decided against it mostly because the odds are stacked against it and wasn't convinced her p.s. would be what they were looking for. But approx 10 years ago we went on a special offer night away at Premier Inn, visited Cheddar Gorge, Bristol Zoo etc. and that evening were eating at Pizza Express when a huge gang of Fresher Medics came down the hill in medical related fancy dress with stethoscopes round their necks - my husband and I found it amusing and they were clearly having a good time. But DD who was around 8 at the time was not amused, I think she was a little scared - maybe that put her off Bristol!?Smile

movednorth · 20/02/2018 10:40

Oh dear. We have broken TSR. Too much refreshing.

adrinkofwater · 20/02/2018 11:42

Congratulations biscuit2000! There's really nothing like getting that 1st offerSmile

Thanks everyone for all your congrats. Not sure what her 1st choice is specialted. She would be happy to go to any of her 4 choices and says they all have positives. I think it could be a difficult choice, but also a choice that she knows she is lucky to have.

We didn't hear from Cardiff either Mommymoomitzi, but I think they are giving out offers over several days.

Hold tight movednorth! They can't keep you waiting much longer I hope! I have also been stalking the Edinburgh thread on your behalf Blush Where else are you waiting to hear back from?

SomersetS · 20/02/2018 11:56

#justoneoffer !
FAB news biscuit2000 and anyone else I've missed!
The news seems to have a pretty positive vibe here which is so good to know. Having choices is an unexpected pleasure! And do you know what, I don't think DD will ever replace the feeling she had when she opened her 1st offer - I can still see her face! Up there with the "highs" of life.
Fingers crossed for those waiting Edinburgh, Cardiff, Sheffield, Liverpool etc...
